About The Role
And Why It’s SpecialInnovamat runs operations centrally. Supply chain, internal systems, revenue analytics and support engineering all live at headquarters in Barcelona, and they serve all nine countries. That's a deliberate choice: it's how we stay efficient and how a good practice invented in one market reaches the other eight.
But some things cannot be run from nine time zones away. Over the last few years we've placed people in Mexico as needs appeared
- first a support specialist, then logistics, then post-sale operations, then legal. What started as a handful of individual hires is now a real operations hub serving all of LatAm and the United States. It has grown into a team that needs a single leader on the ground.
This role is that leader. Based in Mexico City and reporting directly to our Global Head of Operations in Barcelona, you will own operations across the Americas: lead the local team, act as the operational counterpart for the region's business leadership, and make sure the way we run things globally actually works in the markets furthest from headquarters.
The Team You'll LeadCustomer Support
- our in-house squad resolving technical and logistics incidents across the regionLogistics
- controlling last-mile delivery across every country in the regionOperations Engineering
- the systems and processes behind everything that happens after a school says yes: orders, invoicing, deliveries, licences and accessLegal
- managing contracts and local compliance across every country across LatAm and the USFinance Operations
- running invoicing, payments and collections for the region, in the right time zone and aligned with local tax requirementsWhat You'll OwnThink of our operations as a matrix. Thehorizontallines are global disciplines
- production and purchasing, logistics, planning, operations engineering, revenue analytics, support
- each led from Barcelona and each serving every market. Theverticallines are regions: Europe, Spanish LatAm, Brazil, the United States.
You own the American verticals. Your job is to make sure that the wheel those global disciplines turn actually turns well when you look at it from these regions. You don't need to build every solution yourself, but you need to see it and turn it into a clear request for the teams who can.
Concretely, that means three things.
Lead the team, in person.
Be the operational reference point for the region.
Challenge us.
We design internal processes, tooling and calendars from Barcelona with a global hat on. We're certain that some of those decisions are wrong for Mexico or for the US, and we can't see it from here. You'll have the local context we lack, and we expect you to use it: to tell us when a process doesn't survive contact with reality on your side, and to push until it changes.
The same applies to our external partners. When a supplier or service provider in the region underperforms, you'll engage directly at the appropriate level, identify the root cause and drive the resolution. And where a partner selected from headquarters isn't the right fit for your market, we expect you to make the case for change and see it through.
Who We're Looking ForYou're an operator. You understand how internal processes and systems actually work, and you understand the business well enough to know which trade-off is the right one.
